The midterm exam is in-class; the final is the usual time as set by the registrar. Exams are open book and open notes, but no automated devices (e.g., laptops) are allowed. No written makeups will be given.
The report is a three-page report on current OS topics due late in the quarter. Topics will be specified later in the quarter.
The lateness penalty for an assignment that is submitted between N and N+1 full days late (where N is nonnegative) is 2N% of the assignment's value. That is, if the assignment is worth 100 points, the penalty is 1 point for being up to 1 day late, 2 points for being from 1 to 2 days late, 4 points for being from 2 to 3 days late, and so forth. Assignments are not accepted after the last day of instruction (this is typically the Friday before final exams), and are not accepted after the lateness penalty renders them irrelevant to the final grade.
Students must follow the UCLA Student Conduct Code, which prohibits cheating, fabrication, multiple submissions, and facilitating academic dishonesty. A summary of the academic integrity material of the Student Conduct Code can be found in the Student Guide to Academic Integrity, and the Office of the Dean of Students has a workshop on academic integrity.
Students are encouraged to study together, and to discuss general problem-solving techniques that are useful on assignments; but when working on the homework assignment students must not share work and must specify the sources for all parts of their submitted work. If you have questions about the policy, please discuss them with the instructor.
